    Hi everybody!

    I'm a lucky owner of an Aspire 6930ZG.

    My problem is simple. All my USB-ports are slow! They read fast, but when I want to write something, they are very slow (Max 4,5 mega per second), and when it reads it reach 12 mb (And that's normal). But why do my ports write so slow on my flash dics? I have tried the same flash discs on a other machine, and it writes MUCH faster.

    I have tried to update my chipset, but it doesen't seem to help.

    I have connected an AC-adapter and I run on "High Perfomance".

    Thank you.

    Kind Regards Peter.

    I'm not too sure on that one but my max speeds are 24 mB/sec transfer to a normal external and 12 mB/sec to a compressed external. Are you sure it isn't the flash drive? I've had some that were just plain slow like .05 mB/sec. Try other flash drives or even an external hard drive.
